Hello. I've just purchased a vf calais v series2, that has a ksmart kit installed. The problem I'm having is the audio crackles, almost like listening to an album (takes me back). Just wondering if anyone can tell me what the latest version of software is... I've tried the kremersino website, but as I didn't purchase the unit, it doesn't let me access the support page.. I've attached a photo of my version, hopefully it works... thanks in advance..

Correct, it's an Android box that also runs carplay and AA

They are pretty much all android.

AA and CP are essentially just an app that allows a software layer for the phone.
A bit like an emulator.

Hi, does anyone know how to factory reset the ksmart? I played too much with the advance settings and managed to break the touchscreen. Now I can't touch the screen to change it back or reset it. I have tried holding the reset button for seconds, even minutes with power on/off/during bootup... all it seems to do is restart the device... never resets anything. Or is there a way to access the settings via a web browser on phone or computer? I had another device (not ksmart) which I was able to connect to it's Wi-Fi and modify the settings through the phones browser.

one option might be to plug a computer mouse into the usb port, it might allow you to have a mouse pointer to navigate into the menu to find the reset option or undo your changes.

If the only issue is the touchscreen not working, you can use the left ‘tune’ knob to scroll between settings and find the reset setting.

Have you tried using the knobs etc on the stereo eg volume button etc?

Hi Stooge,

That's a great idea. I ended up sorting it out using a firmware download link supplied in this thread. It ran automatically if I didn’t press any buttons and thankfully it reset the settings and solved my problem.

Appreciate the reply though. I might give your suggestion a try at some point for the fun of it.

Oh damn, I have fixed it shortly after my post, but that would have worked. I just tried it and I can navigate the screen using the Tune knob.. I’ve had this in for about six months and didn’t realise it was even a function!

No manuals came with it, hence why I was playing in the first place. This is great to know. Thank you
